Prepaid electricity meters and prepaid water meters are fast becoming a necessity in South Africa.
It’s vital to keep a close eye on electrical and water usage in both commercial and residential properties, as unpaid accounts and lack of proper management can cripple your business.
A prepaid electricity meter installation in your retail outlet, rental property, or sectional title scheme reduces your risk drastically. Property owners across the country view a prepaid meter as an investment and an asset. We collect funds and settle your utility bill directly for you from the safety of our fidelity account, ensuring no disconnections and reliable service delivery. Upfront payments from tenants mean better budget control for you, and improved cash flow.
With electricity tariffs escalating, prepaid electricity meters eliminate the flood of queries from irate tenants with higher-than-usual utility bills. They can see on a day-to-day basis exactly what their usage is, and how it’s being used in their home or building.
Rest easy knowing that the collection of utility funds are controlled by our strict financial procedures according to the government regulation of public funds. And collections are stored safely in a Trust Account before being paid over on a regular basis to your nominated account, or directly to the municipality or Eskom
